Boxing is littered wit fairytale stories of accidental champions, unfortunate also-rans and pretty much evrrything else in between - Sam Egglington's story is quite possibly the best of them all. IN this episode he chats with Al about a series of lightbulb moments in a life that went from him being a redundant forklift driver with no interest or knowledge in boxing, to beinga Midlands Area Champion, on to being a Commonwealth champion and signed with Matchroom Boxing. That catipulted him into a succession of card topping, title fights and entertaining fans all around the world, yet the magnitude of those events or results never affected him and as he tells us here - certainly never defined him.
Sam is without doubt one of the sport of boxing's most genine, humble and nice guys and its a pleasureto have him on the show.
